Very entertaining super hero genre spoof that spoofs Japanese' own super hero likes of Kamen Rider.
The premise is ridiculous. An elementary school teacher who idolized Zebraman TV series when he was a kid decides to wear Zebraman costume. Then suddenly he does have super powers, and goes out to battle the bad aliens that's covertly infesting his town !
The movie has elements of other movies Miike has directed. There're element of violence, element of a B movie, but is focused to entertain their intended audiences. In a way he's like Japanese version of Roger Corman.
The movie is fun, and that seems to be the focus of it all. Just go along for the ride, and you'll be entertained.
